Blakaj 1 1 Division of Radiation Oncology, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] (W.Z.); [email protected] (D.M.B.) 2 Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Yale School of Medicine, 35 Park St., New Haven, CT 06519, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, 320 West 10th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 May 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 22 June 2020 Abstract: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common head and neck cancer. Its pathogenesis is strongly associated with smoking. The management of this disease is challenging and mandates multidisciplinary care. Currently, accepted treatment modalities include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy—all focused on improving survival while preserving organ function. Despite changes in smoking patterns resulting in a declining incidence of laryngeal cancer, the overall outcomes for this disease have not improved in the recent past, likely due to changes in treatment patterns and treatment-related toxicities. Here, we review emerging concepts and novel strategies in the use of radiation therapy in the management of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma that could improve the relationship between tumor control and normal tissue damage (therapeutic ratio). Keywords: laryngeal cancer; radiotherapy; IMRT; IGRT; SABR; de-escalation therapy 1.

    Disease/Medical Condition ORAL CANCER Date of Publication: August 7, 2014 (also known as “oral cavity cancer”) Is the initiation of non-invasive dental hygiene procedures* contra-indicated? Possibly (dental hygiene procedures should not be scheduled while the patient/client is experiencing oral ulcerations and pain, has an acute oral infection, has an absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1.0 X 109/L, or has a platelet count ≤ 50 X 109/L) Is medical consult advised? ..................................... Possibly (e.g., if suspicious lesion is detected; if intraoral infection and/or immunosuppression is suspected, particularly if the patient/client is undergoing radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy) Is the initiation of invasive dental hygiene procedures contra-indicated?** Possibly (contra-indicated for persons undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for oral cancer); furthermore, dental hygiene procedures should not be scheduled while the patient/client is experiencing oral ulcerations and pain, has an acute oral infection, has an absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1000/mm3, or has a platelet count ≤ 50,000/mm3) Is medical consult advised? ...................................... See above. Is medical clearance required? .................................. Yes, if the patient/client is about to undergo or is undergoing active chemotherapy or radiation therapy for oral cancer. – Yes, if the patient/client is scheduled for major oral surgery for oral cancer. Is antibiotic prophylaxis required? ............................. No, not typically (although cancer or treatment-induced immunosuppression may warrant consideration of antibiotic prophylaxis). Is postponing treatment advised? .............................. Possibly (depends on whether cancer and its treatment may interfere with invasive procedures and whether there is immunosuppression associated with cancer treatment).1 Oral management implications Dental hygienists play an important role in early detection of oral cancer, leading to timely medical/dental referral and potential biopsy, endoscopy, and imaging.

Acinic cell carcinoma of minor salivary gland of the base of tongue is very rare. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common tumor in the base of tongue. We present a patient with gigantic acinic cell carcinoma of the base of tongue. This patient required emergency tracheotomy before surgery, because he had dyspnea when he came to our hospital. We removed this tumor by pull- through method and performed reconstructive surgery using a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap. It was a case that to preserved movement of the tongue and swallowing function by keeping lingual arteries and hypoglossal nerves. This case was an extremely rare case of ACC of the base of tongue that required reconstructive surgery.

  • Oral-Cancer-Facts-2020
    Oral Cancer Facts • Slightly more than 53,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer in 2020. • Worldwide the problem is much greater, with new cases exceeding 640,000 annually. • In the US, approximately 132 new individuals each day will be diagnosed with oral cancer. • The fastest growing segment of the oral/oropharyngeal cancer population comes from HPV16, a virus that goes unnoticed with no precancerous signs. • Approximately one person every hour of every day 24/7/365 will die from oral cancer in the US alone. • While not related to biology, oral cancer occurs in blacks 2 to 1 over whites. • Oral cancer occurs in men 2 to 1 over women. Risk Factors • Tobacco use in all of its forms and alcohol are major risk factors for developing oral cancer. • While the vast majority of oral cancers (front/anterior of mouth) are related to tobacco and alcohol, about 10% of these cancers come from unknown causes. This includes all three types of cancers found in the oral environment: Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC), and Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC). • The unknown etiology cancers may arise from a genetic aberration or frailty or from a yet unidenti- fied common shared lifestyle risk factor. Signs and Symptoms • Any sore or ulceration that does not heal within 14 days. • A red, white, or black discoloration of the soft tissues of the mouth. • Any abnormality that bleeds easily when touched (friable). • A lump or hard spot in the tissue, usually border of the tongue (induration). • Tissue raised above that which surrounds it; a growth (exophytic).

    314A ANNUAL MEETING ABSTRACTS Design: 421 archived cases of EC(1995-2007) were reviewed and TMAs prepared Conclusions: Positive GATA3 staining is seen in all vulvar PDs. GATA3 staining is as per established procedures. ERCC1 and RRM1 Immunofl uorescence stains were generally retained in the invasive component associated with vulvar PDs. GATA3 is combined with Automated Quantitative Analysis to assess their expression. The average more sensitive than GCDFP15 for vulvar PDs. Vulvar PDs only rarely express ER and of triplicate core expression was used to determine high and low score cutoff points PR. Vulvar PD should be added to the GATA3+/GCDFP15+ tumor list. using log-rank test on overall survival(OS). Association between expression profi les and clinicopathological parameters was tested using Fisher’s exact test. The independent prognostic value of ERCC1 and RRM1 was tested using Cox model adjusted for Head and Neck Pathology traditional prognostic factors. Results: 304(72%) type-I EC cases and 117(38%) type-II EC cases were identifi ed.
